Reviving, And Revamping, China's Ancient Art Of Ink PaintingThere's "a generation of Chinese contemporary artists who since the 1980s have reclaimed ancient ink-painting techniques to create what is now known as ink arts. ... The genre, also known as brush painting, is not defined by the materials used to make it, ... but rather by the type of training and specialization that the artists learn."
